Take a look in advance
Dwayne Johnson shows how UFC (Ultimate Fighting Championship)-legend Kerr dominated opponents in the octagonal ring while battling dependence on painkillers that nearly brought him down. In it, the man born to fight draws the love of his life, Dawn Staples-Kerr (Emily Blunt). Their quarrels escalate and can be heard for miles around. Dawn struggles to find her place in Mark's chaotic world.
Kerr's struggles with painkillers and drug addiction run like a thread through the film, showing vulnerability behind his fighter persona. The story juxtaposes his public success with private struggles and highlights the psychological burdens associated with extreme competitive pressure.
